Natel awarded DOE funding

January 20, 2017

We are pleased to announce that Natel is one of the six organizations selected by the DOE to receive up to $9.8 million in funding. Natel will leverage the new funding to test a laboratory-scale Linear Pelton (LP) turbine, a new model of hydroEngine that aims to further reduce civil works while maintaining a high efficiency. The other projects selected by the Department of Energy all aim to develop lower cost, high performance hydropower technologies.
